The hit song of the year 1930 - "Was kann das Sigismund dafuer..." (How Can Sigismund Help He's So Beautiful?)is played by one of the best Weimar Berlin dance bands. Such fine musicians like Arthur Briggs (trumpet) or a banjoist Mike Danzi played for M. Weber, as well as most popular crooners like Monosson or Austin Egen sung the refrains. Here the refrain is sung by Siegfried Arno - a cabaret and film actor, whose two rare clips can be found here in You Tube. Marek Weber and Arno left Germany after Hitler took power and they continued their career in the US (Weber as "King of The Waltz" in radio). This recording was made for Electrola in 1930.

"Ziggy" Arno and my mother were in the Broadway production of "Song Of Norway" in the '40s. When we saw a revival of the show in the early '60s, he was still in it. She always said he was a wonderful, funny man. Of all the people she worked with, she always mentioned him.
Als Sigi in der Wiege lag, da war es schon zu seh'n: Das Kind wird wunderschön wie'n Standbild aus Athen! Die Männer wurden grün vor Wut, die Mädchen in der Stadt, Die sagten: Nur kein Neid! Wer hat, der hat!
Was kann der Sigismund dafür, daß er so schön ist? Was kann der Sigismund dafür, daß man ihn liebt? Die Leute tun, als ob die Schönheit ein Vergehn ist - Man soll doch froh sein, daß es sowas Schönes gibt.

Das Kind wird wunderschön wie'n Standbild aus Athen!
Die Männer wurden grün vor Wut, die Mädchen in der Stadt,
Die sagten: Nur kein Neid! Wer hat, der hat!
Was kann der Sigismund dafür, daß er so schön ist?
Was kann der Sigismund dafür, daß man ihn liebt?
Die Leute tun, als ob die Schönheit ein Vergehn ist -
Man soll doch froh sein, daß es sowas Schönes gibt.
